Well, I think we can improve the ordering of the services a bit so we
can remove the "Requires: lvm2-lvmetad.socket" in lvm2-monitor.service
and just rely on the soft dependency with "After: lvm2-lvmetad.socket"
in lvm2-monitor.service. This would allow us to mask the
lvm2-lvmetad.socket without problems then.

Looking at this chart, I think we need to move the lvm2-lvmetad.socket
under local-fs-pre.target so we're sure it's prepared soon enough.

I'll see if that helps and if yes, I'll post the patch.
